Nice vs Reims Prediction and Betting Tips | February 18th 2023

Seventh-placed Nice will entertain Reims at the Allianz Riviera in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

The hosts are currently the most in-form team in the French top flight and are on a four-game winning streak. Nice overcame Ajaccio 3-0 at home in their previous outing thanks to Dante's third-minute strike and a second-half brace from Billal Brahimi. It was the second game in a row in which they were able to score three goals.

Reims are undefeated in the league since October and returned to winning ways last Sunday with an emphatic 4-0 win over Troyes. Both teams head into the game on the back of unbeaten runs and the game should make for an interesting watch.

Nice vs Reims Prediction

Les Aiglons have seen an upturn in form, scoring 14 goals in their last six games while conceding just two goals in that period. The visitors have done well to keep their unbeaten streak in the league alive since October and will be looking to avoid a defeat in this game as well.

The two teams met last month in Ligue 1, playing out a goalless draw, and considering their recent history, another low-scoring result seems to be on the cards.

Prediction: Nice 1-1 Reims
